  • /dev/sda2 ext4: depends on disk size (contains databases, log files and apps)
  • /dev/sda3 ext4: 500MB (contains the rootfs)
  • /dev/sda4 swap: 512MB

App Platform x86-64 Virtual Machine

Installation

ARM Gateway

If you setup a gateway with the install procedure, the App Platform is installed automatically.

You can also install it manually:

• Open App Platform -> General and Enable Linux Support. Restart the gateway.
• Open App Platform -> IP and configure the IP settings of the App Platform. Restart the gateway.
• Open App Platform -> Installation and select the given version or enter an own path to the app-platform-armel.img image file.
• The installation runs without any further required step.

Virtual machine

• Import the image into your server environment.
• Edit the disk size, if wished.
• Start the machine and wait until it reboots and starts again.
